Has anyone saved money and closed with one of these new upstarts?

Let them know you are shopping and tell them to give you their best offer (all on the same day), and state you will go with whomever can save you the most money. 

In total, including money lost from rent, legal fees, and repairs, the situation cost almost $30k.

That's why STR/MTR brings in more money...they're also more work.

With it being that risky, the least I could do is have some money saved up.

Lastly funding developer who has 3 subdivisions going in WA DC market. these are big time deals and with our funds for the soft costs  500 k to 1 mil on each project my client is going to make  sit down  but probably over 10 million net  life changing money and well we will do good too !!

And on and on and on.It is the duty of agents to make money, which comes from your pocket when you buy a property.

"Putyour money where your mouth is."

It can also be an opportunity to discuss house rules and expectations to ensure you're on the same page.While being cost-conscious is understandable, investing a little upfront for proper screening can save you a lot of trouble in the long run.
